The CIK-FIA & Women in Motorsport Commission search for a young Karter

Working in association with the National Sporting Authorities around the globe, 11 young kart racers born between 1997 and 1999 have been selected to take part in a shoot-out in Italy on 2 June. The selection process will incorporate a mix of theory, presentation and driving activities and the Driver deemed to have demonstrated the greatest potential will receive a free entry to the 2012 CIK-FIA Karting Academy Trophy, along with a kart from the official supplier and free overalls (the prize excludes testing tyres, fuel, service team and damage to the equipment).
